James Woodward on the patient care crisis

We are proud of the NHS and its values. It is rooted in a philosophy of care for all. It aspires to mend and heal. It inspires great public service from energetic practitioners.However, there is a crisis deep within our culture. It is a crisis of care - the way we treat people and how we engage and listen to our service users.
